6. I wondered about that, too. All I can guess is someone told them to go get cleaned up for pictures..

However, if you can remember old photos, there were quite a few taken with male archaeologists standing around in complete suits, which did seem strange. It always looked as if they didn't want to get their nice suits dirty so they left that to the brown people.

Not too sure what they were up to with the photos. Could be they only wanted people back home to see them less disheveled.
